With all due respect, I think naming your class "Kosen" is misleading, as Kosen refers to a specific variant/school of Judo. So while your intentions are good, and your training focus is on the same area of Judo as the Kosen schools, using the term "Kosen" implies a connection with the original Kosen schools that doesn't exist. I think that a more accurate description is just to say that you're teaching ne-waza focused Judo (which is what you'll end up saying anyway the first time someone asks "what's Kosen").

As for blue and purple belts teaching BJJ, while they may not have as much experience as yourself (though a blue or purple could easily be training for 7 years), they would be teaching the same art they train - BJJ, whereas you're advertising teaching a specific and documented Judo variant that you have not trained in (if you have, then please ignore my comments). It's not your skills that are in question, just the use of "Kosen" in an incorrect context.

I'm not criticising you or your abilities - I was only asking about the Kosen aspect cos I'm interested in the history of both Judo and BJJ, so I was immediately intrigued when you said Kosen Judo. As for who I am, I'm an average blue belt training BJJ with Eduardo Carriello in London with absolutely zero to hide.

so you tapped out blue belt and purple belt at leo negao academy and carlson
in hammersmith?

why you say no gi?

if no gi how you know what belt they have?

i am purple belt from niteroi near rio.i do not believe you tap any blues or purples especially from carlson team.in rio those guys not tapping.period.i look up leo negao on google and he proper blackbelt.i am also saying you not able to tap his students either.

Look I meant no offence I am simply trying to run a GI session for my club.

I feel that argueing about something as trivial as this is stupid.

The blues and purples are legit they told me their grades, I might of been having a good day they might of been having a bad day, who knows.

If you are a purple you should be well aware that the belt colour doesn't make you good (I am not saying you are not, but there are some shockingly bad grapplers out there)

I have tapped most of these guys when they come to my club

The Carlson guy's in london are VERY GOOD and I never said I tapped any of Leo's guys (When I was going there were only 3 of us)

Once again a appoligise if I have caused offence - I fully beleive that if you are a Purple in Brazil you must be very good - you must understand that most people think a Judoka cant fight on the ground, I am just trying to explain that I can - I might not be the best, but I have seen worse than me teaching.

I am trying to increase my knowledge of grappling - if I was to have someone come to the club who was better than me and my instructer, we both would welcome the chance to learn as it is their is no BJJ within easy reach of us

I respect everyones abilities, but time after time you get guy's making comments about things like this, with actually very little in the way of training

I hope that you would be able to stop by Reading if you are ever in the country and help us to learn more grappling

I really hope we can make ammends now before this gets blown out of all proportion and end this as friends

PS I have nothing against BJJ, in fact I would be training in it if I could

PPS I have changed the title to read session - this is to show everyone that it will be a chance for anyone who turns up to learn - if there is anyone there better or more experienced than me, then we will of course share techniques.

I am open to learn from everyone

SORRY FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS (I am not recanting what I said, I have just not thought the naming of the session through enough)

you say if i am purple i should know belt color does not make a guy good?

no but if guy get purple belt it because he good.

you say there some "shockingly bad grapplers" out there.
my fren there no bad purple belts.as i said befor purple belt
for animals and if you white belt in bjj (i not care about judo belt)
you did not tap purple belt unless he purple in kung fu 5 animal drunken
bruce lee system.not bjj.if you tap a purple say from what academy.
